- All,

- While doing things by hand is certainly the simplest way of accomplishing
- things, well, there are advantages to doing things via computer. It's like
- word processing: once you have a method that works, like the keyboard, it's
- just as efficient to type as to write. The computer really shines, however,
- despite all of its flaws, when you realize that your piece would be so much
- easier to play if it were a whole step up. With a computer, you can
- theoretically issue the command "transpose the whole thing up a whole step and
- extract the parts all over again." Without the computer, well, you've got a
- good bit of copying ahead of you.

- Thanks to all who replied to my question about Score, either by email or in
- public. I may still be getting in touch with some of you.
